In The Beginning… 2010 FreeStyle.ch

Spencer — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 07:34:20 +0000

The 2010 Freestyle.ch has come and gone and the 2010/2011 season is right around the bend. I was just starting to enjoy my summer here in Oregon, but I guess it is time to get my skis mounted and waxed (We have to wax in Oregon because the snow has little baby arms that grab you). The Freestyle.ch gives me the chance to speculate who made it up to Hood and Blackcomb in the off season. You can tell by an athlete's demeanor and style. The toughest competitor on the ramp this year was moister, dripping off the limited edition goggles warn by skiing's elite athletes. After checking out the videos from the event I could not determine a clear winner. I will tell you one thing... I can't watch anymore double corks. I am sorry but Sammy Carlson made it boring when he landed a triple at Mt Hood during the filming of the new TGR film. The FreeStyle.ch was everything we expected from the action sports festival. Henrik Harlaut, Elias Ambühl, Andreas Håtveit, and PK Hunder held it down. I truly didn't expect a Euro sweep of the podium but the Americans did hold it down for the other half of the top ten.

Day 1: 2010 X Games Slopestyle Results

Spencer — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:18:33 +0000

Day 1 is over and so are the X games for a couple unfortunate professional skiers. Since only the top 8 move up, the men's slopestyle finals are going to be packed with the best. I wasn't really impressed with the double flipping straight rail riding competition today. I am stoked to see Sammy and Tom throw down with more style Saturday. Check out the Skiing Slopestyle Men’s Final on ESPN 2 this Saturday, January 30 at 4 pm- 6 pm. The women's slopestyle field was quite a bit smaller so the finals were held today. Kaya Turski, Keri Herman, and Grete Eliassen rounded out the top 3 with no real surprises. Men's 2010 X Games Slopestyle Elimination Results: (Top 8 Make it to Finals) 1 Andreas Hatveit, 2 Bobby Brown, 3 Russ Henshaw, 4 Sammy Carlson, 5 Tom Wallisch, 6 Phil Casabon, 7 Jossi Wells, 8 Matt Walker, 9 JF Houle, 10 Jacob Wester, 11 Elias Ambuhl, 12 Charles Gagnier, 13 Alexis Godbout, 14 TJ Schiller, 15 PK Hunder, 16 Colby West Women's 2010 X Games Slopestyle Final Results: 1 Kaya Turski, 2 Keri Herman, 3 Grete Eliassen, 4 Ashley Battersby, 5 Megan Olenick, 6 Sarah Burke, 7 Kristi Leskinen

Russ Henshaw took number one at the first annual Barcelona Snow Show this weekend in Spain. It was a show down of double corks but that is what gets you paid these days. The video montage says it all. The setup looked awesome and with a 115 foot tall drop in there was no lack of speed. The only issue seemed to be the landing which didn't hold up after a couple crashes. The event rolled on with Russ, Elias, and Tom killing it in the finals. Results: 1. Russ Henshaw | 2. Elias Ambuhl | 3. Tom Wallisch | 4. TJ Schiller | 5. Andreas Håtveit | 6. Jon Olsson 7. Paddy Graham | 8. Patrick Hollaus | 9. Benedikt Mayr | 10. Noah Albaladejo Watch the Barcelona Snow Show Video

Russ Henshaw Wins 2009 London Freeze

Spencer — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:31:57 +0000

The biggest names in free skiing once again converged onto London town for the 2009 Freeze. This years jump was awesomely big and then it rained. The competition almost did not happen when half of the landing washed away. Simon Dumont cut his losses and did not compete. The skiers that kept their boots on were given the chance to hit the kicker after about two hours of work. Props to the staff that were able to get the new snow to stick to the wet landing. Overall the competition was a success. Props to Russ, Andreas and Bobby. 1. Russ Henshaw, 2. Bobby Brown, 3. Andreas Håtveit, 4. Benedict Mayr, 5. Jacob Wester, 6. Corey Vanular, 7. Roy Kittler, 8. Elias Ambuhl, 9. Fridtjof Fredricsson, 10. Phil Casabon, 11. Matt Walker, 11. Paddy Graham, 13. Tom Wallisch, 13. Alexis Godbout, 15. TJ Schiller
